Not sure I want to see that video.
I had to wait 90 minutes sweating moving up a placing, a refunded race...was a long video, though Lance's will have more action than some blinking #s and commentary
I was there that night too, and I remember that race well. It was the NYSS final for 3 yo colts.The horse on the lead turning for home was named Fulla Potholes, driven by Mike Kimelman. The horse stuck his toes in at the top of the stretch, and most of the field piled over him. Two horses escaped the pile up and were able to finish the race. Black Gold Road, driven by DR Ackerman, crossed the line first, but was on a break. The #8 horse, Gloucester Court (Jim Morrill Jr.), who had been was parked the mile and faded badly, was so far back that he was able to circle around the pile and crossed the line a half-length back of Ackerman. He was placed first because Ackerman's horse was on a break.I have not been able to find any press on this race, much less a video.
